Norah's Breakfast Cookies (Scones) SERVES 12 | 1.5 HRS TOTAL

We affectionately call these scones “breakfast cookies.” They’re so good they’ve tricked our toddler into thinking that they’re actual cookies. Don’t be afraid to have some fun and mix this recipe up! We use oat milk and vegan butter to avoid lactose, but real milk and butter works great too. We like to use our favorite bar of dark chocolate but the scones work well with chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc.

For the Dough: Topping: 2 3/4 C. all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons oat milk 1/3 C. Sugar 2 tablespoons white sugar 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 8 tablespoons (113g) butter, cold (we use organic earth balance) 1 cup chopped chocolate bar (use one you wouldn’t mind eating on its own) 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup to 113 (152g) oat milk (we use full fat Oatley)

1.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. 2. Work in the butter using a fork or pastry cutter just until the mixture is unevenly crumbly; it's okay for some larger chunks of butter to remain unincorporated.

3. Stir in chopped chocolate. 4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and oat milk. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. 5. Using a bowl scraper or a large spoon, stir the dough ingredients until all is moistened and holds together. 6. Line a baking sheet with parchment; if you don't have parchment, just use it without greasing it. Sprinkle a bit of flour atop the parchment or pan. 7. Scrape the dough onto the floured parchment or pan, and divide it in half. Round each half into a 5" circle (if you haven't incorporated any add-ins); or a 6" circle (if you've added fruit, nuts, etc.). The circles should be about 3/4" thick. 8. Using a knife or bench knife that you've run under cold water, slice each circle into 6 wedges. 9. Brush each circle with oat milk, and sprinkle with coarse white sparkling sugar.

10. Carefully pull the wedges away from the center to separate them just a bit; there should be about 1/2" space between them, at their outer edges. 11. Place the pan of scones in the freezer for 30 minutes, uncovered. While the scones are chilling, preheat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the upper third. 12. Bake the scones in the upper part of your oven for 18 to 23 minutes, or until they're a light golden brown. When you pull one away from the others, it should look baked all the way through; the edge shouldn’t look wet or unbaked. 13. Remove the scones from the oven, and cool briefly on the pan. Serve warm.

Weeknight Pasta all’Amatriciana SERVES 2 & A TODDLER | 30 MINS

INGREDIENTS ½ Tablespoon Olive Oil (really just enough to have a thin coating on bottom of your pan) 8 oz pasta of choice (try to find a pasta with a starchier outer coating, trader joes has a good one) 4 oz pancetta (or guanciale if you can find it) small dice 1 cup loosely packed finely grated pecorino (plus more for snacking and topping) ¼ tsp red pepper (up to 1 tsp if you like it spicy) ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more for topping 14 oz can whole peeled tomatoes (san marzano preferred)

Want a simple recipe to impress your significant other? If so, you’ve turned to the right page. This is an easy favorite in our house but really tastes like a restaurant quality dish. METHOD 1. Boil 2 quarts of water with two teaspoons of salt ( we use Diamond Kosher. If you are using table salt, or fine salt use only 1 teaspoon) a. The reason for using less water is to maintain starcher pasta water to thicken the final sauce. 2. Boil pasta to 30 seconds shy of package instructions. 3. While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. 4. Add pancetta and cook until lightly browned about 35 mins. 5. Add red and black pepper and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 6. Stir in the tomatoes with the liquid, while crushing the tomatoes between your fingers. 7. Turn off heat, add ½ cup of pasta water and pecorino and stir vigorously to emulsify the sauce 8. Add finished pasta to sauce with tongs directly from boiling water and continue stirring 9. Add pasta water as needed to thin the sauce to desired consistency. It will thicken as it cools, so leave slightly looser than intended. 10. Plate and finish with fresh black pepper and fresh grated pecorino.

Fat Basset Martini By: Sam Cass

SERVES: 1 2.5 oz London Dry Gin (do not make with vodka) .5 oz dry vermouth Lemon

When making this recipe, if you start to grab the vodka, put it back. This bassettini is gin only! It was taught to Sam by his grandfather and is lovingly named after his beloved basset hounds.

1. Place liquid ingredients in a mixing glass (in a pinch a pint glass will do). 2. Add enough ice to the glass to completely cover the liquid and chill the glass (approx. 4-8 cubes depending on glass). 3. Stir until the glass forms condensation on the outside of the glass (this ensures that the drink is properly chilled. If the glass is thick this will not work, in this case stir about 40 times). 4. Strain into a chilled martini glass. 5. Peel the outer layer of the lemon, squeeze peel over the glass and drop in. 6. Drink immediately Optionally this drink can be served with cocktail onions to make a Gibson, or an “I just watched the Queen’s Gambit.” To make this drink “dirty” add in a bar spoon of olive brine prior to stirring and serve with olives.

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or enough to coat the bottom of your skillet 1 cup diced yellow or white onion 1 teaspoon minced garlic 2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes 8 ounces tomato sauce 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes ¼ teaspoon salt freshly ground black pepper 10 ounces dry uncooked penne pasta ⅓ cup half and half or heavy cream ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided 1 pound raw shrimp, extra large (26-30) or large (31-40) peeled, deveined, tails removed (if frozen, thaw completely before beginning) 5 ounces fresh baby spinach www.fromvalerieskitchen.co m/shrimp-and spinachpasta/

SERVES

This Shrimp and Spinach Pasta in a flavorful tomatoparmesan cream sauce is an irresistible one pot meal. Impressive enough to serve to guests but so easy you can make it any night of the week! 1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over MEDIUM heat. Add the onion to the skillet, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute or two. 2. Add the broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and the pasta. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Cover the skillet, reduce to LOW and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes, or until pasta is al dente. 3. Stir in the half and half or cream, half of the Parmesan, and the shrimp and cook over MEDIUM-LOW heat until the shrimp is opaque, slightly pink, and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the spinach in a big heap on top. You want spinach to still have some life to it so remove the skillet from the heat after you add it and stir it in just until it wilts. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the top, and serve.

Chicken Ramen

SERVES 2 | 15 MIN, PREP | 1 HR TOTAL

We came across this recipe when I ordered a bowl of ramen from a local restaurant (the only ramen place in town) and it was too spicy and included cheese…yuck! So, I turned to good ‘ol Google. Luckily, Fork, Knife, Swoon came through for me with this delicious recipe! Enjoy! Ingredients: 2 Chicken Breasts (boneless & skin on) Salt& Pepper, to season chicken 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter 2 tsp Sesame or Vegetable Oil 2 tsp Fresh Ginger, minced 3 tsp Garlic, minced 3 Tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce 2 Tbsp Mirin 4 Cups Chicken Stock 1 oz Dried Shitake Mushrooms (or ½ cup fresh) 1-2 tsp Sea Salt, to taste 2 Large Eggs ½ Cup Scallions, sliced 2 (3 oz) Packs Dried Ramen Noodles Optional: Fresh Jalapeno Slices, for serving

1. Cook the chicken*: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large ovensafe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pan, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until golden. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil until ready to serve. 2. Make the ramen broth: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, until shimmering. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for a few minutes until softened. Add the soy sauce and mirin, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute. Add the stock, cover, and bring to boil. Remove the lid, and let simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, then add the dried mushrooms. Simmer gently for another 10 minutes, and season with salt, to taste. 3. Make the soft-boiled eggs: Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs, and bring to a boil. Gently lower the eggs (still cold from the fridge) into the boiling water, and let simmer for 7 minutes (for a slightly-runny yoke) or 8 minutes (for a soft, but set-up yoke).

4. Prepare Ice Bath: Fill a large bowl with ice water. When the timer finishes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Wait at least 5 minutes, or until cool enough to handle, then carefully peel away the shell and slice in half, lengthwise. Set aside until ready to serve. 5. Assemble the Ramen Bowls: Meanwhile, chop the scallions and jalapeño (if using). Slice the chicken into thin pieces. Set aside. When the eggs finish cooking, add the ramen noodles to the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until soft, then divide the noodles into two large bowls. Add the sliced chicken and the ramen broth. Top with the fresh scallions, jalapeño and the soft-boiled egg. Serve immediately.
